The functions of culture in terms of cognition, education, communication, cohesion, inheritance, and entertainment determine its great strategic significance in promoting national development and national progress. In the new century, countries around the world are focusing on improving culture. Competitiveness is highly valued. Culture has become an important part of the country's comprehensive national strength in the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The role of cultural functions has been throughout human history, and there is a positive correlation between national development and national progress and the performance of cultural functions. Representing the direction of advanced culture, it is the programmatic appeal of the theoretical construction and practical innovation of the Communist Party of China. The construction of advanced culture involves all aspects, and it is directly connected to two clear directions: First, the strategic goal of realizing China's modernization , the second is to realize the great mission of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The topic of "Shaping Patriotism and Talent Creation and Promoting the Construction of Campus Culture" is applying to become a municipal topic. As a member of the topic team, my task is This part of campus culture construction.
The key to the operation of patriotic education is how to embody the concept of patriotism and talent development in the construction of campus culture, how to effectively improve the educational function of campus culture, and reveal the basic ideas of patriotism and talent development. The value of ideas in the current middle school education work; reflect on the construction of campus culture with patriotism and talent as the basic ideas, its due position in school construction, and explore its own construction rules. Under such guiding ideology, how do we do it?
First of all, we clarify the importance and necessity of campus culture construction to promote the development of the project.
Campus culture refers to the specific spiritual environment and cultural atmosphere of the school as a special place. It is created and created by the dual subjects of the educator and the educated with the campus as the spatial background and around teaching activities and campus life. A unique subculture system characterized by cultural conflict and integration. It is reflected in two aspects: explicit courses and latent courses (also known as implicit courses). Explicit courses refer to the knowledge, skills, ideological perspectives, behavioral norms, etc. that the school stipulates that students must master. Potential courses include campus buildings, cultural facilities and environment. Tangible environments such as layout and intangible environments such as school spirit, teaching style, study style, interpersonal relationships, cultural life, collective public opinion, psychological atmosphere, and campus group opinions and beliefs. The latter concepts such as campus spirit and campus values ??are the deep structure and core content of campus culture. They have guiding significance for the survival and development of the entire campus. They are intangible assets of campus construction and are connected with the quality of school running. is one of the important sustainable development elements of the school. We should pay attention to the construction of campus culture and strive to give full play to its educational role.
As a potential hidden curriculum-based campus culture, it is situational, penetrating, persistent, and suggestive in educating students on their ideological and moral education and the development of good behavioral habits. Characteristics such as sex and pleasure. Campus culture uses its vivid and intuitive expression form to embody ideological education in various concrete and sensible situations. The educational function of campus culture is realized through the positive influence, infection and edification exerted on students by the healthy and progressive spiritual factors of the school and the beautiful physical environment.
In the construction of campus culture, how to give full play to the moral education function of campus culture and enable students to gradually form a correct view of patriotism and success, we must grasp the following principles.
First, the educational principle. The ancients said: "Virtue is the first step in all walks of life." Without virtue, a country cannot thrive. The quality of moral construction reflects the mental state of a country's people and affects the rise and fall of a nation's cause. When morality thrives, the country thrives; when morality thrives, the nation thrives - this is a conclusion drawn from reality. School is a place to educate and cultivate people. As a part of school education, campus culture must first highlight its educational characteristics and grasp educational principles at all times and everywhere. Only in this way can the potential guiding function of campus culture be fully utilized. Through various effective forms, we educate students on patriotism, collectivism, socialism and the spirit of the Chinese nation, explore the rules that inspire students to learn and become talents, so that students' comprehensive quality can be continuously improved, and learning can be improved on the basis of forming a correct patriotic concept of becoming talents. score.
Secondly, the scientific principle.
The construction of campus culture is an overall project of the school. It involves a wide range of areas and requires the mobilization of forces from all aspects. The school should carefully coordinate, scientifically plan, and arrange reasonably to avoid the situation of each doing his own thing and constraining each other. For example, in students' after-school cultural life, firstly, an organizational system must be established, from the leadership agency to full-time and part-time tutors, and then to students. Secondly, the content of activities must be reasonably arranged according to the age, knowledge structure, and psychological characteristics of the students. , basically forming a sequence to meet the development needs of students of different grades, different characteristics, and different interests and hobbies.
Finally, the principle of artistry. In the construction of campus culture, we must have an artistic vision and allow students to be infected by art and enjoy beauty through the school's facilities and atmosphere. In the greening and beautification of the campus environment, efforts should be made to achieve the characteristics of each of the four seasons, with verdant greenery in spring, dense shade in midsummer, red maples in cool autumn, and evergreen pines and cypresses in cold winter; the design of campus buildings and the arrangement of scenic spots should strive to The appearance and color should be harmonious and unified to give people a refreshing and pleasing feeling; the arrangement of school cultural activities should also integrate educational, scientific and artistic aspects, and strive to make the activities novel, lively and interesting, so that campus culture has an impact on young people. Students have strong appeal and attraction, prompting them to actively, enthusiastically and actively participate in it, so that their thoughts and sentiments are naturally cultivated and their souls are purified invisibly.
Some of the work we have done so far:
1. Discover environmental culture.
There is no place for leisure in the school, and it educates people everywhere. The environment is not only a space for students to live, but also a carrier for cultivating students' civilized qualities. We explore and use the campus environment to form a strong three-dimensional environmental culture, so that every plant, tree, wall and board can speak, and play a role in educating and inspiring people. Just as Mr. Tao Xingzhi said, "Every plant and tree is related to emotion." In the classrooms and corridors, there are outstanding works of previous graduates and students in the school's regular classes and special art classes. Their works make students feel the joy of success; we have twice mobilized all students of all grades to collect aphorisms. It is required to combine two beliefs under the theme of patriotism and talent: as long as they study hard, every student can become a talent; love the motherland, study hard for the prosperity of the country, and collect maxims about personality, outlook on life, ethics, world view, etc. As for the aphorisms, the first two aphorisms chosen by famous people or self-compiled by each class were processed and placed inside and outside the classroom. Through individual interviews, we learned that these aphorisms indeed played a certain motivating role for some students. Philosophical sayings make students understand, ordinary people's words make students excited, and famous quotes make students wake up and think. The research team also proposed to form a "little reporter group" in the school, establish the school newspaper "Morning News", and establish the Changqiao Middle School website. The school magazine and school newspaper should promptly report the new people, new things, and new faces of the school, and insist on guiding people and students with correct public opinions. Good work is inspiring. The school has set aside half of the original promotional window as a column for patriotic education, and changes the content regularly. It has become a habit for students and teachers to read the column in their spare time. When students live in such a healthy and vigorous cultural atmosphere, their souls will naturally be purified and their thoughts will inevitably be sublimated.
2. Practice etiquette culture.
Healthy and elegant communication methods and abilities are one of the essential qualities for modern middle school students. How to deal with the relationship between classmates? How to handle the teacher-student relationship? How to deal with the relationship with parents? How to understand the relationship between patriotism and success, etc. Optimize the school's interpersonal environment, carry out activities to respect teachers and love students, and establish a good and harmonious teacher-student relationship. At the same time, we should give full play to the edifying education of the class environment, such as giving full play to the main role of students, and teachers and students working together to create a good interpersonal environment, including class style, study style, collective public opinion, cultural atmosphere, etc., whether in the classroom or in the classroom, teachers and students Later, they all advocated "appreciation and encouragement". Currently, "Hello, teacher!" has become a campus buzzword.
3. Enrich activity culture.
Campus culture is a kind of group culture, which is reflected in all activities of the school. Modern middle school students are energetic, lively and active, and studying to death is contrary to the physical and mental condition of middle school students. Based on this understanding, we go out of the classroom, teach through fun, carry out colorful campus cultural activities, and create a civilized, healthy and progressive campus cultural life.
A "little reporter group" was organized to report on new people, new things, and new looks of the school every month; at the suggestion of the research team, the school established the Academy of Sciences (Science) and the Academy of Social Sciences (Liberal Arts) of our school, and established the two academies. The purpose is to set an example among students of studying hard and working hard to become talented, and also to enable academicians to follow the example of scientists, set up lofty ambitions from an early age, and study hard for the peaceful rise of the Chinese nation, and to inspire the majority of students to be motivated in learning through vigorous publicity. , thereby promoting the overall education and teaching development of the school. Academicians of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Social Sciences have to conduct research on topics every semester. For example, this summer vacation, the Academy of Social Sciences, which I am responsible for, will conduct: The quality of Shanghai citizens - a comprehensive survey on the collaboration and cooperative spirit of teachers and students in Changqiao Middle School. We also launched a school-wide recruitment of principal assistants and selected student assistant principals; selected the most worthy of praise every month and asked them to serve as flag-raisers; the school sports meeting was crowded and the athletes were lively; the environmental protection publicity and education on World Environmental Protection Day, advocated Students love school and save energy; at the campus science and technology festival, students not only flew airplanes, they also let their own ideals fly. In the district drama festival series of special competitions, our academicians from the two academies also actively participated in rehearsals. In the end, we won a second prize and a third prize. Once again, students can experience and feel the power of unity and collaboration. After many activities, we are very happy to see the gratifying progress of the students.
Some ideas for future work:
1. Continue to enrich the activity culture.
We should set up a campus TV station, organize the members of the "Little Reporter Group" to get out of the hot campus life, and use their keen vision to grasp the pulse of the ever-changing times; organize a campus culture and art festival to let students write and perform themselves; Go out of campus, go into communities, visit factories, and organize social practice classes every month so that students can learn to observe, learn to think, learn to behave, and learn to do things; guide students to participate in reading and essay competitions, organize calligraphy, painting, and photography activities, and hold psychological lectures, etc. A variety of extracurricular activities can display students' youthful vitality and personality, stimulate students' endless imagination and creativity, and promote the improvement of students' overall quality.
The school's campus culture construction should be focused, targeted and effective, and carry out a variety of lively theme month series activities in conjunction with major events and holidays. In the next semester, we plan to carry out the following activities: a series of National Day Education Month activities with the theme of "The Motherland is in My Heart", September Learning Month activities with the theme of "Respecting Teachers, Value Teaching, and Lifelong Learning", and launching a "Beauty Around You" classroom Cultural construction competitions make classrooms more tidy, clean, civilized and peaceful, with distinctive individual characteristics. The implementation of a series of themed activities can implement the construction of campus culture and promote the construction of campus spiritual civilization.
2. Improve the value culture.
With the deepening of reform and opening up and the development of the commodity economy, various ideologies, outlooks on life, and values ??have emerged in society, and these will inevitably affect many students on campus. Due to limitations in life experience and discernment ability, students cannot make completely correct judgments. By organizing visits to patriotic education demonstration bases and regularly watching patriotic education videos, students can understand themselves, grasp the direction of life, and strive for a better future, etc. Carry out organized class, group, and student union activities, conduct planned and regular ideological and political education and organizational management for students, and cultivate students' self-education, self-management abilities and collectivist spirit. Correct ideas in activities, identify values ??in practice, and improve one's personality in study and life. Cultivate students' basic moral values ??and lofty life ideals of "patriotism and law-abiding, courtesy and integrity, unity and friendliness, diligence, thrift, self-reliance, and dedication". Develop school mottos, compose school songs, and a series of rules and regulations.
Suhomlinsky said: "The beauty of the surrounding world can cultivate students' sentiments and make them noble and elegant." A good campus environment is conducive to students' learning and development. It is conducive to the cultivation and improvement of students' quality. Although this impact is indirect, the power is huge. As the American educator Bryson said: Any school environment is silently speaking to the children, and the children will indeed pay attention to it and accept the influence and influence unknowingly. The campus environment not only reflects the traditional concepts of a certain era, but also affects the enthusiasm for teaching. Therefore, optimizing the educational environment is not only regarded as a kind of management, but also one of the important means of cultivating talents.
Strengthening the construction of campus culture and optimizing the educational environment also require the close cooperation of schools, society, and families. Only when everyone pays attention to the construction of campus culture and puts people first can the function of environmental education be truly strengthened and students can Really healthy development.
